Fan Cuiying stared at the blood in front of her, her heart pounding. She desperately wished that the person who had been hit was Ma Zi, so that there would be no way to prove anything.

Pity……

Police officers nearby kept a close eye on everything that was happening.

They rushed over after hearing the gunshot.

At this point, the man with the gun was terrified and was quickly subdued by the police and placed on the ground.

His mistress tried to sneakily start the car, but unfortunately, her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't even insert the key.

The two were subdued just like that. The police officers knew basic first aid and immediately knelt down to bandage Shen Lu's wounds.

Shen Lu ignored the wound on her own leg and instead carefully examined Xiao Yu, who was in her arms, to check his condition.

Xiao Yu's breathing was steady, his heart was beating strongly, his facial features were not red or swollen, and there was nothing wrong with his body.

Shen Lu's tense expression finally relaxed a little at this moment.

It's good that the child is alright.

Only then did she notice the waves of pain coming from her leg, and when she looked down, she saw a large patch of bright red blood.

A policewoman was skillfully bandaging her wounds when she looked up and met Shen Lu's puzzled gaze.

Seeing that he finally realized he was injured, the policewoman gave him a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, that gun is too old-fashioned and doesn't have much power. Your leg is fine, just a few scrapes from the bullet. Just go home and keep the wound dry for a few days to let it heal."

Shen Lu nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

"Could you please take my child to the hospital? I'm worried he hasn't woken up yet..."

Despite the commotion, Xiao Yu remained unconscious. Shen Lu guessed that the couple must have given him some kind of drug to prevent him from running away and screaming.

The policewoman helped the mother and son into the police car and comforted them.

"Preliminary tests suggest the child is safe, so don't worry. I've already contacted my colleagues at the hospital, and they're making preparations. Once the child is taken to the hospital, they will conduct a comprehensive examination."

"Um……"

Just as Shen Lu closed the car door, before the car could even start on its own, a pitiful pleas for mercy came from outside.

"Little sister... little sister, please forgive us this time. You just said you wouldn't pursue the matter as long as I let go. You can't go back on your word."

Besides, we didn't mean it. We just listened to your sister-in-law and wanted to scare you. And your child is fine now, isn't he?

Even if something really happened, you should hold your sister-in-law accountable. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have kidnapped the child even if we had ten times the courage.

Shen Lu stared at them with cold eyes, as if she were staring at a lump of dead flesh.

If there were no police here, Shen Lu couldn't guarantee what she might do; it was the police's presence that protected their safety.

Never underestimate a mother who is angered by being used as a tool to manipulate others.

They actually have the nerve to morally blackmail her now. Only morally upright people can do moral blackmail, not people as immoral as them.

Fan Cuiying stood by, meek and submissive, not daring to utter a single word.

He secretly hoped that he could find his sister-in-law to plead for leniency when the police were away. After all, they were family, and she couldn't possibly send him to jail.

Even if she gave in, Gu Youcai and his mother wouldn't. Don't forget that she did all this for their whole family.

If Gu Youneng could have given birth, there would be no need for all this trouble.

"You should be glad the child is alright. You're just going to court and jail now. If even a single hair on my child were to be missing, I wouldn't let you leave unscathed."

Shen Lu held Xiao Yu's head tightly in her arms. The feeling of having lost and found him again left her in a state of intense emotion, like a mother animal with high vigilance. She absolutely could not leave her little cub for even a moment.

The police noticed that Shen Lu was in a bad mood and immediately arranged for someone to take Shen Lu and the child back home.

After blood tests and a series of examinations at the hospital, it was determined that Xiao Yu had only taken sleeping pills.

Because the dosage is relatively large, it may take a day to metabolize completely. During this period, the children will need to stay in the hospital temporarily to ensure their safety.

Shen Lu encountered the same nurse she had met during her first visit to the hospital.

Because Shen Lu looked so different from before, the nurses didn't recognize her at first.

But when she saw the familiar little boy, she remembered who Shen Lu was.

I never expected that Shen Lu would change so much after just over a month.

"Don't worry, the child is fine. Although the dosage of sleeping pills was slightly excessive, it was still within a controllable range."

"Thank you, nurse."

The nurse, who had just finished watching what was happening, took off her gloves and extended her palm upon hearing this.

"No need to be so formal. My name is Zhao Jingxue. I think we're about the same age, so just call me Xiaoxue."

Shen Lu grasped that hand.

"Shen Lu".

Zhao Jingxue then noticed that Shen Lu's leg wound had only been simply bandaged, so she squatted down and extended her leg to thoroughly disinfect and bandage it.

"How did it get like this?"

The police were performing their duties and had no obligation to report the case to the nurse, so Zhao Jingxue was unaware of the details.

Shen Lu seemed to have suddenly found an outlet for her emotions.

She recounted everything that happened that day.

Zhao Jingxue listened, her brows furrowed.

"When your mother-in-law came to the hospital and made a scene, I sensed something was wrong. I never expected she would do something like kidnapping her own grandson."

If I were a mother, and something happened to my child, I would never forgive them for the rest of my life…

Zhao Jingxue paused here, looking at Shen Lu with an inquiring gaze.

He didn't know what Shen Lu was thinking. Maybe she thought that since they were all family, it was better to avoid trouble and not pursue the matter further.

Mentioning this, Shen Lu's body temperature plummeted.

"I will sue him, and whatever the court decides, that's what I'll do."

Shen Lu has already done everything she could. If it were anyone else, Shen Lu would have made them pay an even heavier price.

"What if your husband doesn't let you pursue the matter?"

Zhao Jingxue thought for a moment before speaking. After all, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. No matter how high a position one holds outside the home, one still has to deal with the mess at home.

"I'll sue him too."

Zhao Jingxue looked at Shen Lu with admiration, thinking that she herself might not have been able to do this.

However, the fact that Shen Lu thinks this way is enough to explain her attitude.

You made the right friend; they are the same kind of people.

It's important to understand that many women in this society are afraid of their mothers-in-law, so even if something like this happens, how many of them would dare to actually pursue the matter?

Shen Lu dared to do it; she not only wanted to pursue the matter but also wanted to make that whole family pay the price.
